Saturday night i lined up a wrx and had a quick run, after hittin 80ks my exhaust starting popping real bad, now i backed of straight away and didnt think much of it. Monday morning on the way to work gave it a squirt and it happend again. So i knew it was misfiring after 4500Rpm , but anything under that was fine.

I checked all the coil packs and they wer fine, the spark plugs were finished, so i changed them tonight and now the car can r33 redlines without the popping noise but the idle is real lumpy (normally 650rpm now its 800rpm and when u drive the car feels like its hopping

what can cause this apart from the spark plugs and coil packs? this is doing my head in ?

well problem sorted out this morning, for future reference to anyone with a similiar issue , all i did was unlplug one coil pack connector at a time and start the car , if the car felt really lumpy i knew the coil was fine, but when i got to the 4th coil pack and undone the plug and started the car it had no effect , so i knew it was damaege, so i found a place with a single spare coil pack and am getting it changed today :0

hahah, not selling the cooler ever :D

ok, job done and the cars running fine again. To check the resistance get a multimetre and put it on the pin to the left and the middle pin , it should read 0.7ohms anything different means it damaged

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
